What Causes Painful Little Hole In Lower Front Gums?
Hi,
I recently got this little hole in my lower front gums. It started off as a little bubble, but it burst. It hurts when i put pressure on it. My teeth have always been in good condition when ever i got my checkups, but until recently i don't have insurance anymore so i am not able to check it out with my dentist. Is this very serious?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have hole in lower front gums,it is sinus opening for drainage of pus .
There can be periodontal abscess due to periodontal problem.
You do is warm saline gargle two - three times a day
Consult dentist and go for Scaling and root planning
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
